Heretic. We believe the wooden 'Weeping Buddha' in the pic is a Windows User

Why is it called YAP?

Maybe it should be called 'Yam along a ding dong'?
YAP is a tribute to Barry Kauler and the Puppy Linux developers
YAP is the mantra or sound a young dog (Puppy) makes when venerating the Buddha
Y.A.P. = YinYana Alter Program

Can I modify it to use Christian, Pagan or Spaghetti Monster images or to promote my group?

Yes as long as you provide the source code
So you could use it to promote your favourite charity, cybercafe
or pet interest . . .
swf files can be created in open office or wink
videos can be created on your camera and added

A front end introducing your puplet is easy to provide
. . . or you can just meditate . . .

I'm very curious about this phrase. Are you actually using Linux software to assist in religious sense, in that you're performing some kind of ritual on the hardware itself?
Or are you using a metaphor to describe the installation of a Linux system on a computer which previously ran proprietary software?
The reason I ask: As a Christian, I am familiar with the concept of consecrating a "thing" for religious use (consecrating a church organ for use, as an example). And I'm quite familiar with setting up computer labs in churches which run Linux... which I suppose could be considered a kind of "consecration".
I was just curious as to the Buddhist aspects. I'm looking forward to your response.

Peace to you,

The way something is used denotes the type of attention it attracts.
The use of a shrine as a focus for chanting and meditation
and the display of Buddhist iconography is both a metaphor
for good will and intent, as well as a very real reminder.
If the open source software is modified to run Christian themed
images and inspiration, it then changes the nature of the interaction.
From a Buddhist perspective any organ used skilfully
to relieve suffering, is a Great Blessing.

What are the goals of YAP?

To provide an easy to alter inspiration for your projects

How was it made?

I decided to use ready made
Youtube videos, which I downloaded and converted into swf
using this service:

Sit quietly and comfortably keeping your back straight if possible. Focus your attention gently on your breathing. Do this for a few minutes a day at first and then extend the time. Do not worry when your attention wanders and thoughts intrude. When you notice this, simply draw your attention back to your breathing. This is the basis of meditation practice.
